Since 1981 the West Australian Mining Club has been providing Student Prizes to each of the four Western Australian universities. From 1981 until 1991 the prize was valued at $75 and awarded as a book prize. In 1992 the prize was increased to a $100 book prize. In 1994 the prize was changed to a cash prize of $100. Subsequently in 1997 the prize was again increased, this time to a $400 cash prize. Currently the Club awards four $500 cash prizes to students at each Western Australian University on the following basis:

Curtin University
For outstanding performance in the Geological Field Mapping unit in the final year of the BSc (Applied Geology) degree.

WA School of Mines
For the best yearly weighted average in all subjects in the 2nd year of the Mining Engineering degree.
